Yes, you're right. The white guys are definitely worse off. And I think I laughed once last week!
See, objectively I can't actually be mean about Outsourced, not specifically - its humour falls flat often, but not all shows pull that off right away. It's definitely not too racist (although if they'd stop mispronouncing Manmeet, that would be great), except for how it treats its own Americans. I understand NBC's desire to get a New Hit Show, and so far the ratings are on its side (although it has the benefit of the Office lead-in). If they start changing the things that even Parks was getting wrong in its first season - stronger characters, working away from humour generated from extended gags - I don't think I would mind watching the show. The rational part of me gets why NBC is doing this, and why Outsourced shouldn't necessarily be written off right away.

On the other hand? Parks and Recreation. D:
